Seeing their aging Bloodhounds easily swatted aside by advanced police ships only amused the pirate bosses for so long. Eventually they tired of the embarrassment, and put their most sober minds to work upgrading the ship. This proved a difficult task, as originally they attempted to shoehorn it into an interceptor role, but the ship's bulk made that a futile endeavour. Eventually, they found success in the classic pirate style - a bigger generator to power bigger guns and bigger shields. The frame was also stable enough to include a dedicated torpedo mount for extra punch. Though some naysayers decried the radical changes, the new Hyena is becoming a more common sight amongst raiding parties.

Despite the best efforts of the most sober minds among the [[Mollys]] and [[Liberty Rogues]], the upgraded version of the often-ridiculed [[Bloodhound]] wasn't able to succeed in its [[Heavy Fighter]] role. Better [[Shields]] and a bigger core simply weren't enough to compensate for the ship's massive bulk. Rather than dropping the established design entirely, it was decided to sacrifice any semblance of fighter agility and instead use the ship's large frame to contain a [[Bomber]]-grade powercore and much heavier armor plating.

{{Review|[[User:Laufi|Laufi]]|(4.89) This is a Liberty Rogue light bomber. It has one of the highest, If not the highest, turn rate of the bomber class. Being a light bomber it is best for "hit and run" tactics. Against other fighter ships the Hyena is pretty wide on the sides and can be an easy target for enemies. Make sure when you use this Bomber to not give your sides to the capital ships as they may score some hits on you if you are close enough. It would probably be better to redirect upward in a diagonal path after shooting a missile instead of left or right and exposing the hyenas sides. The turn rate is this ships biggest attention grabber. |4.89}}

Despite the best efforts of the most sober minds among the Mollys and Liberty Rogues, the upgraded version of the often-ridiculed Bloodhound wasn't able to succeed in its Heavy Fighter role. Better Shields and a bigger core simply weren't enough to compensate for the ship's massive bulk. Rather than dropping the established design entirely, it was decided to sacrifice any semblance of fighter agility and instead use the ship's large frame to contain a Bomber-grade powercore and much heavier armor plating. The Hyena proved a suitable platform for this modification - the Z-line has always been known for its remarkable ability to be improved simply by adding more power. With its dual Cruise Disruptor and Torpedo setup enlarged to use bomber weapons, the ship has finally become a serious threat, perfectly supplementing the superheavy Barghest-class among Liberty and Bretonia's Pirates.
